Too helpful Mr Storm - i was thinking something more specific like the sproket nut on the off side wey bearing needs at least 3 8ths play or summit -

But i can go with the other recommendations - the missus is still in to dirty - its win:win

All the above very valid, check the leaf springs aren't seized solid (not a big problem to un-seize them just a pain in the backside), make sure it goes in and out of low/hi and 2wd/4wd properly, fluids dripping from diffs/engine/gearbox/anywhere else, and definitely check that the vin numbers marry up especially if its tax exempt!
